What is Smart Guaranteed Life Insurance? With Smart Guaranteed Life Insurance you can select a benefit amount between £2,000 and £20,000, depending on your age. There are no questions asked about your health or any medical conditions that you may have. Smart Guaranteed Life Insurance meets the demands and needs of those who would like the benefit amount to help pay towards funeral costs, outstanding debts or left as a gift.

Who can take out cover?The Smart Guaranteed Life Insurance can provide cover for you under a single plan, or for you together with a partner life insured under a joint plan.

A life insured is eligible for cover, if at the start date they are resident in the United Kingdom and aged 30 to 80. Provided this criteria is met, we guarantee to accept your application for Smart Guaranteed Life Insurance.

What is covered? If a life insured dies, we will provide a lump sum payment as specified below:

Event Amount Payable

Accidental death Three times the benefit amount

Non-accidental death in the first 24 months from the policy start date (the deferred period)

The total of all premiums paid towards a life insured’s cover

Non-accidental death after the first 24 months from the policy start date (after the deferred period)

The benefit amount

The benefit amount you selected for each life insured is specified in your schedule. The lump sum payment is provided on the death of each life insured.

What is not covered?During the first 24 months from the start date of the policy (the deferred period), the amount we pay for a non-accidental death will be limited to the return of all premiums paid towards a life insured’s cover.

For full details about what is covered and what is not covered under Smart Guaranteed Life Insurance, please refer to the Terms and Conditions in sections 2 and 4 on pages 12 and 13.

How much does cover cost?The amount of premium payable will depend on the benefit amount you selected, age and whether you have a single plan or joint plan.

The amount of premium payable will be stated in your schedule which will be sent to you at the time you are accepted for cover.

Premiums are payable monthly and are fixed when your policy starts. Your premiums will not change throughout the duration of your policy, until the policy anniversary on or following attainment of age 95, when premiums are no longer payable for that life insured.

When does cover end? The Smart Guaranteed Life Insurance cover will continue for the whole of each life insured’s life until the first of the following occurs:

• the date of death of that particular life insured;

• if two consecutive monthly premium payments are outstanding;

• the date you cancel the policy; or

• the date we cancel the policy.

Your commitmentIt is your responsibility to:

• ensure regular monthly premiums are paid for the duration of the policy.

• tell Smart Insurance when you, or any life insured, change personal details e.g. name, address or bank details.

• check your policy annually, to ensure that it continues to meet your requirements.

• answer all the questions asked by Smart Insurance truthfully, accurately and completely to the best of your knowledge when applying for your policy.

RisksNo cash-in value The policy has no cash-in value at any time.

Failure to pay premiumsIf two consecutive premium payments are outstanding, your policy will end with no value and cover under this policy will no longer be provided.

Effects of inflation The benefit amount is fixed when your policy starts and does not change. The value of the benefit amount you choose may not keep up with inflation and as such, the value may reduce over time.

Inheritance tax In the event of the life insured's death and the policy paying out to the estate, there may be an inheritance tax requirement. You may be able to avoid inheritance tax by using an appropriate trust. If you require any additional information or are unsure about what to do, please speak with a financial advisor or solicitor. The Government may change the tax position described above.

You may pay in moreDepending on how long you live, it is possible that you (or whoever pays the premiums) may pay in more than the benefit amount.

Your cancellation rightsYou have 30 days from the date on which you receive your policy documents to make sure you are happy with your cover, and decide whether you want to keep it.

If you want to cancel your policy, you must contact Smart Insurance within this period for a full refund, subject to no valid claim being made. If you cancel your policy after the 30 day period then you will not receive any refund of premium.

General conditions and information about your policy1. Premium paymentsYour premium amount is calculated based on the benefit amount you selected, age and whether you have a single plan or joint plan.

The amount of premium payable will be stated in your schedule which will be sent to you at the time you are accepted for cover.

Your premium will be debited from your nominated bank account monthly on the date of your choice. All premiums are to be paid in United Kingdom currency (£ sterling) from a United Kingdom bank account.

Premiums are payable monthly and are fixed when your policy starts. Your premiums will not change throughout the duration of your policy, until the policy anniversary on or following attainment of age 95, when premiums are no longer payable for that life insured.

2. Missed premium paymentsIf two consecutive monthly payments are not paid, this policy will automatically end with no value and we will have no further responsibility in respect of this policy.

At our absolute discretion, we may reinstate the cover if the outstanding premiums are paid to us in full, although we reserve the right to make any variation in the cover provided.

As soon as a premium payment is missed, Smart Insurance will try to contact you to discuss your payment arrangements and may also reattempt collection of your premium from your nominated bank account.

3. Changing your insurance3.1 Changes you can makeYou may apply, at any time, to change your policy during the period of insurance, however, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to make the changes you request. Any changes accepted may be subject to the payment of an additional premium based on your age at the time of the request.

If your changes are accepted, you will receive confirmation of these changes, including, if applicable, a new schedule. The new schedule will replace all previous versions issued.

You can make various changes to your policy, including; updating personal details, adding a partner life insured or changing the benefit amount.

3.2 Changing your benefit amountIf at any time you decide to increase the benefit amount for a life insured, then a new deferred period will apply from the date of increase in respect of the amount of increase.

3.3 Changing from a joint to a single planFor joint plans, should a life insured pass away, the remaining life insured can continue their cover and pay the required premiums under a single plan should they wish to do so. The single plan will continue under the same terms for the remaining life insured.

3.4 Changes we can makeWe can change the terms and conditions of your policy that we reasonably consider are appropriate. These changes could affect the amount and type of cover provided under the policy. We may also make changes due to the result of a change to any applicable legislation or regulation of taxation.

If we do decide to make any changes to your policy, Smart Insurance will write to tell you at least 28 days before the change takes effect.

4. Annual review of coverIt is your responsibility to review the cover annually to ensure it remains adequate for your needs.

5. Dual insurance If the life insured is covered under more than one Smart Guaranteed Life Insurance policy, the total lump sum payment provided on death under all policies combined will be limited to that which would have applied under a single policy with a chosen benefit amount equal to the maximum benefit amount as illustrated in the ‘Minimum and maximum benefit amounts’ section on page 12.

If a reduction in the amount provided is necessary due to the maximum limits being exceeded, the reduction will be applied to the insurance policy most recently commenced and the same proportion of associated premiums paid will be refunded.

6. Governing law This policy is governed by the laws of England and Wales unless, at the policy start date, you are resident in Scotland, in which case this policy is governed by the laws of Scotland.

All policy communication will be in English.

We may also require the life insured’s treating doctor or a medical specialist to complete a report which will be at our expense. It may also be necessary to access the life insured’s medical records. We may also require further information or documentary evidence to assess the claim.

If any information or documentation that would reasonably be required to assess the claim is not provided by the claimant, we will not be able to process the claim until the information or documentation is made available.

Once the claim is accepted, we will provide the lump sum payment due to you or the person who is legally entitled to it, whichever is appropriate.

If applicable, we will refund any premium(s) collected after the date of death in respect of the life insured where a valid claim is made in respect of the life insured.

When we pay a claim, the life insurance cover will end for that life insured and we will have no further responsibility under the insurance for that life insured following such payment.
